Practical Engineering | Groundwater Flow Demonstration Model @PracticalEngineeringChannel | Uploaded October 2015 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
I was commissioned to build this model in support of a presentation about geotechnical engineering. The goal is to illustrate the flow paths that groundwater takes under an obstruction (e.g. a sheet pile or cutoff wall). So much of engineering is just theoretical work, so it was really cool to see such an elegant example of a geotechnical engineering concept borne out in real dirt and water. Thanks for watching and let me know what you think.
